This specialist course in Anatomy and Physiology has been designed for students looking to study the topics in greater depth. It offers the advantages of home study and is ideal for those wishing to go on to study a variety of therapies. This programme is included at a reduced rate with most of our Diploma Courses or is available to study separately for those who wish to study any other course for which Anatomy and physiology is a pre-requisite.

Kevala Centre courses are distance learning (home study) courses available worldwide. The course consists of 3 home study modules covering the following subjects:

• INTEGUMENTAL SYSTEM AND BODY CAVITIES Cells, tissues, membranes, skin.

• SKELETAL SYSTEM This forms the framework of the body

• MUSCULAR SYSTEM Muscles move the bones under the influence of the nerves.

• NERVOUS SYSTEM This is like the computer of the body; it is an electrical communication system receiving and giving out information. It is divided into two parts: the central nervous system or CNS, which is the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system which is made up of all the nerves in the body.

• ENDOCRINE SYSTEM This is the glandular system. It uses chemical messengers called hormones to carry instructions around the body. The health of the body depends on a correct hormonal balance.

• CIRCULATORY SYSTEM This is made up of the heart, blood vessels and the blood circulating around the body. It also involves the lymphatic system

• LYMPHATIC SYSTEM This system consists of a fluid called lymph. Vessels that convey lymph are called lymphatics. Structures and organs all contain lymphatic tissue, but the central nervous system, bones, and cartilage do not.

• URINARY SYSTEM This gets rid of the waste fluid from the blood and is responsible for maintaining the liquid balance of the body.

• DIGESTIVE SYSTEM This is responsible for changing the food into substances that can be recognised and used by the cells of the body.

• RESPIRATORY SYSTEM All cells need oxygen for life. The respiratory system takes oxygen into the lungs and gives out carbon dioxide. It works in close conjunction with the heart.

• REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Responsible for continuation of the species.

• DISEASES OF THE BODY SYSTEMS Basic information of common ailments.

Each of our courses is made up of a series of 'Modules'. These are written in an easy to understand style with practical examples. Each module contains a test paper which is returned to your tutor for assessment. This allows you to benefit from the guidance of your tutor at each step of your training.
